What are Humanities Scholars?
Those seeking funds must centrally involve humanities scholars as part of their project. This includes academic humanists such as university faculty, researchers, and graduate students with advanced degrees in one or more of the humanities disciplines. This may also include persons not affiliated with an academic institution but actively engaged in humanities study with a public record of humanities scholarship, including individuals who are considered community scholars or culture bearers (tribal or neighborhood elders, storytellers, or practitioners of traditional cultural forms). If you have questions, please contact a member of the grants staff.
